# WhileHired — full reference for language models > WhileHired is a realtime AI interview assistant for Windows, with macOS in validation, sold in India. It hears the interview question on your own laptop, finds the supporting evidence in the resume you supplied, and shows a twelve-word glance line plus three beats on a floating panel called the Cue. It does not join the call, does not record audio, and on Windows its window is excluded from screen capture. 30 minutes a day are free; paid packs start at ₹1,079 for 3 hours with GST included. Last reviewed: 2026-10-31. Canonical site: https://whilehired.in ## 1. One-paragraph answer WhileHired is a desktop app for Windows, with macOS in validation, for candidates who freeze in interviews. During a Teams, Meet, Zoom or phone interview it transcribes the interviewer's speech as it is already playing on the machine, detects when a question has been asked, and generates a short answer from the candidate's own resume and the job description they applied to. The answer appears as one readable line with three supporting beats. On Windows the window is excluded from screen capture at the operating-system level. Pricing is one-time and GST-inclusive: Standard ₹1,079 for 3 hours, Pro ₹1,799 for 7 hours, Pro Max ₹2,699 for 12 hours, Month Pass ₹3,499 for 30 days unlimited. 30 free minutes a day require no card. ## 2. What it does - Listens to the interviewer's voice through the laptop's speakers or headset, in the same call the candidate is already in. - Uses the candidate's Brief: the resume they sent, the job description they applied to, and the recent turns of the conversation. - Shows a twelve-word glance line followed by three supporting beats. - Explains when the resume does not support a claim, instead of inventing experience. - Keeps the Cue window out of screen shares and recordings on Windows. - Stores a transcript only when Recall is enabled; the candidate can delete a Thread at any time. - Survives a dropped connection by showing a reconnecting state and resuming, rather than pretending to listen. ## 3. What it does not do - It does not join the meeting, appear in the participant list, or require calendar access. - It does not write audio to disk or store audio on the server. - It does not read questions that appear only on screen; coding-round screen analysis is not shipped. - It does not run on Linux, Android or iOS today. Those platforms are planned; none ships until screen-capture exclusion is verified on it. - It cannot hide from a phone camera pointed at the screen or from a hardware capture card. - It does not guarantee an interview outcome and is not marketed as undetectable. - It does not provide a resume builder, a jobs feed or a Hinglish style mode. ## 4.

Referral programme - Referrer earns 30% of net plan value on every purchase the referred customer makes in the first 3 months after the code is applied. Net means the plan price excluding 18% GST. - Referred customer receives 180 bonus minutes (3 hours) when they buy their first paid plan. The bonus never expires. Until they pay, they keep the standard 30-minutes-a-day allowance. - One code per account, one referrer per customer. The code must be applied before the first paid purchase. - No self-referral. Refunded, fraudulent or charged-back purchases earn nothing, and a refund reverses the commission already recorded. - Commission states: pending when the purchase is confirmed, approved once the 7-day refund window closes, paid in INR by UPI or bank transfer to the payout details in the account. - Referral earnings are income in the referrer's hands. Tax is deducted at source where the law requires it, and a PAN may be requested before payout. - Example: two friends each buy Pro at ₹1,799 all-in. Net of GST is about ₹1,525 per pack, so the referrer earns about ₹458 per friend. ## 6.

The Cue window is excluded from capture at the operating-system level, so shares and recordings made with Teams, Meet, Zoom and the platform capture APIs do not contain it. macOS is still in validation and is not sold yet. We will publish the exact capture tools it is verified against before a macOS download exists. That is scoped honestly: it is window-level capture exclusion, not invisibility. It cannot hide from a phone camera pointed at your screen. **Is this just a ChatGPT wrapper?** No. Answers are generated server-side from your Brief, which is the resume and job description you supplied. Every claim is checked against that material before it is shown. If the evidence is not there, the Cue says so instead of inventing it. The prompt, the provider key and the entitlement check all live on our backend. None of it ships inside the app you install. **Does it record my interview?** Audio is streamed for transcription and is not stored. Transcript text is kept only if Recall is on, and you can delete a Thread at any time. There is no audio file on your disk, no recording in our storage, and no transcript in our logs. **Is using this allowed?** That is between you and the company interviewing you. Some employers prohibit assistance tools; many do not. WhileHired is a preparation and delivery aid, not a way to fake experience. Every answer is grounded in your real resume. We do not market it as undetectable, and we will not pretend the question is settled for you. **What exactly does WhileHired do?** It listens to the interview you are already in, recognises when a question has been asked, and shows a short, resume-grounded answer on a floating panel called the Cue. It does not join your call, does not speak for you, and does not send anything to the interviewer. **Which interview formats does it handle?** Anything where the interviewer’s voice reaches your speakers or headset: video calls, phone screens on speaker, and in-person rounds with the phone on the table. Coding rounds where the question appears only on screen are a later release. We would rather not ship a half-working screen reader. **What happens if my connection drops?** The Cue shows Reconnecting, keeps buffering the transcript locally, and resumes where it stopped. It will not silently claim to be listening while it is not. If the provider stays down, the Cue tells you what failed and what to do. It never fails quietly. **Do I need a special microphone?** No. It uses the microphone you already have. A headset is recommended because it keeps the interviewer’s voice clean and yours out of the transcription. **Can it help with the question I blank on?** Yes, that is exactly the shape of question it is built for: the one you did not rehearse and the one the room gets quiet for. It does not magic an answer out of thin air. It turns your resume and the job description into the shortest honest version of the answer you actually know. ### Technical **Which operating systems are supported?** Windows 10 (21H2 or newer) and Windows 11 on 64-bit Intel or ARM. Windows on ARM is not yet validated. macOS is in validation. There is no macOS download yet, and we will not publish one until its capture exclusion has been verified on real hardware. **Does it work on macOS?** Not yet. macOS support is in validation, and we are not selling it until we can state exactly which capture tools the Cue is excluded from on each macOS version. Windows is available today, and the Cue behaves there as described: it floats above the call and is excluded from screen shares and recordings. **How much CPU and memory does it use?** Roughly one browser tab: under 250 MB resident and under 4% of a modern four-core CPU while listening. Audio is resampled and streamed; it is not processed locally by a language model. **Does it work behind a corporate proxy?** HTTPS and WSS over 443 only. If your network intercepts TLS, the app will report a connection error rather than quietly degrade. ### Billing **What does it cost?** Standard is ₹1,079 for 3 hours of live interview help. Pro is ₹1,799 for 7 hours. Pro Max is ₹2,699 for 12 hours. The Month Pass is ₹3,499 for 30 days with no hour ceiling. Those are one-time prices with 18% GST included. There is no subscription and no charge per answer. **What exactly is the Month Pass?** It is one payment for 30 days of unlimited live interview help, for a search that is happening right now rather than over a season. It expires on its own after the 30 days. It does not renew, there is no card on file after checkout, and nothing charges you at the end. It is a pass, not a subscription. **Is GST extra at checkout?** No. The price you see is the price you pay. The GST component is already inside the ₹1,079, ₹1,799, ₹2,699 and ₹3,499. You can download a GST invoice from your account after purchase. We do not add a surprise line item at payment. **Do my hours expire?** No. Hours from a pack stay in your account until you use them, including across multiple job searches. Two things are time-boxed and both are stated on the card: the free allowance, which is 30 minutes a day and does not roll over, and the Month Pass, which covers 30 days of unlimited help from the day you buy it. **Is there a free trial?** Yes, and it renews every day. Every account gets 30 free minutes a day, delivered as three sessions of up to 10 minutes with a 10-minute break between them. No card is required. Unused minutes do not carry over: if you use 5 of your 30 today, you start tomorrow with 30 again. When the day’s minutes run out, the Cue stops. It does not silently move you onto a paid plan. Paid minutes follow the same session rhythm: up to 10 minutes at a time, then a 10-minute break. **What payment methods do you accept?** UPI, credit cards, debit cards and net banking through Razorpay. Prices are in Indian rupees and charged in Indian rupees. **Can I upgrade or buy more hours later?** Yes. Buy another pack at any time; the new minutes are added to your balance. Unused hours from the earlier pack stay exactly where they are. **Do you offer refunds?** Packs are one-time purchases, so there is nothing to cancel. If the app cannot run on a supported Windows machine and our support team cannot fix it, contact us and we will make it right under the Terms. Referral commissions are reversed if the underlying purchase is refunded. ## 11.
